+Description
+-----------
+
+ihost is a host for the i-scream central monitoring system. It's task
+is to collect information about the machine it runs on and report it
+to the server for monitoring. It makes use of the external libstatgrab
+library for collecting this information.
+
 Building and Installation

+First download and install libstatgrab and libukcprog. These two
+libraries are used by ihost, and other i-scream packages. They should
+be available from the same place as ihost.

 After downloading and extracting ihost, configure and build as follows;
